Uranium Glass Gerbera Brooch - Lemon Yellow & Purple Handmade Flower

Due to the use of special colored beads, the pricing for this color differs from our other variations. Thank you for your understanding. The flower language is "Hope." This gerbera is hand-woven using glass beads from the Czech Republic (Bohemia), which has a long history of traditional glass craftsmanship. For this specific color, every component is made from Czech glass, allowing you to enjoy its unique and profound expression. The petals are arranged randomly rather than at equal intervals to mimic the natural look of a real flower. The firm texture achieved through nylon weaving is a unique feature. It is finished in a size slightly smaller than a real gerbera. This transparent yellow has a brilliant, near-fluorescent impression. When exposed to bright sunlight, it takes on a faint greenish tint. It is highly recommended for those who prefer lemon yellow over standard yellows. The unique hue comes from "Uranium Glass." By adding a trace amount of uranium as a coloring agent, the glass emits a green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light (blacklight). This mystical coloring was very popular until before WWII. Lemon yellow is the most iconic and attractive shade for uranium glass. In this piece, not only the petals but also the core and surrounding beads are entirely made of uranium glass. Unlike our other colors, the center features a faceted round uranium glass bead rather than woven seed beads. It has a sophisticated tone where lemon yellow meets purple. The yellow parts are the uranium glass components. For added security, we include one silicone brooch stopper. The 6th image shows the brooch on a near-life-size silhouette. The 7th image uses a standard postcard for scale and shows a comparison with other yellow gerberas. Other color variations are available on separate pages. The 8th image shows other uranium glass gerberas currently available. Clockwise from top right: White-Green, Cream-Yellow, Green-White, and Lemon Yellow-Pink & Green. The 9th image features the "Lemon Yellow-Aqua Blue" version, also made entirely of uranium glass.
